On this night our Lord will pray\u00a0in the\u00a0garden of Gethsemane, suffering in agony as He prays to the point of sweating blood.<\/p>\n

What was flashing through His mind\u00a0in those moments? \u00a0What caused Him\u00a0such great emotional pain\u00a0\u00a0that He physically sweat\u00a0blood?<\/p>\n

Maybe as He knelt there praying,\u00a0life flashed\u00a0before His eyes, but instead of seeing His own life, He saw all of our lives flash before His eyes. Our lives became\u00a0His as He lived\u00a0each of our lives in His mind, in those moments. \u00a0He saw every sin each of us has ever committed as His own sin.<\/p>\n

He watched Himself committing these grievous, selfish, terrible and sinful acts. God, His Father, watched Him committing these grievous, selfish, terrible, and sinful acts.<\/p>\n

He Himself bore our sins…\u00a0<\/em>– Peter 2:24<\/p>\n
